Plasmid encoding IAA and a method thereof
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to a plasmid pUPI126 encoding indole-3 acetic acid (IAA) production, Acinetobacter strains having plasmid pUPI126, a bioinoculum for promoting growth of wheat plant, and a method of promoting wheat plant growth, the method comprising treating wheat seeds with the bioinoculum.
1. The plasmid pUPI126.
2. A Acinetobacter strain comprising the plasmid pUPI126.
3. The Acinetobacter strain of claim 2 , wherein the strain is Acinetobacter haemolyticus strain MTCC 5218.
4. A bioinoculum for wheat plant, said bioinoculum comprising one or more Acinetobacter strains according to claim 2 ; and a carrier.
5. A bioinoculum as claimed in claim 4 wherein the carrier is lignite.
6. A method of promoting wheat plant growth, said method comprising treating wheat seeds with the bioinoculum according to claim 4 .
7. The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the bioinoculum comprises the Acinetobacter haemolyticus strain MTCC 5218.
8. The method as claimed in claim 4 wherein the carrier in the bioinoculum is lignite.
9. The method as claimed in claim 4 wherein the Acinetobacter strain colonizes the wheat seeds during treatment.
10. The method as claimed in claim 4 wherein the color of the leaf of the wheat plant becomes darker green.
11. The method as claimed in claim 4 wherein the inflorescence and fruiting stages of the wheat plant is reached in a time duration lessened by 10 days.
